    Abstract: Various examples and schemes pertaining to differentiation of user equipment (UE) in narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) are described. A processor of a UE generates a signal containing UE-specific information that is specific to the UE. The processor transmits the signal to a network node of a wireless network. The processor then receives a response from the network node, the response comprising an access stratum (AS) configuration created by the network node based on the UE-specific information. The processor also applies the AS configuration which reduces power consumption of the UE.

    Abstract: Concepts and examples pertaining to efficient coding switching and modem resource utilization in wireless communication systems are described. A processor of a modem of a user equipment (UE), configured with at least a first-capacity decoder and at least a second-capacity decoder, receives a common virtual carrier (CVC), a dedicated virtual carrier (DVC), or both. The CVC contains common information shared by multiple UEs, control information for the UE, and/or data information related to first data destined for the UE. The DVC contains control information for the UE, the first data, or a combination thereof. The first-capacity decoder decodes data of a small size up to a low data rate. The second-capacity decoder decodes data of a large size up to a high data rate. The processor determines whether to decode the first data using the first-capacity decoder or the second-capacity decoder based on the data information in the CVC.

    Abstract: A novel and efficient DRX operation mechanism is proposed to maintain the reliability and energy efficiency for NB-IOT systems. In NB-IOT systems, the length of a NB-PDCCH (with repetition) and the interval between two NB-PDCCHs are extended and can be reconfigured by eNB for each UE. The eNB can also adaptively adjusts the DRX parameters accordingly. NB-IOT UE monitors the NB-PDCCH in DRX ON duration, which is configured in number of NB-PDCCHs. Specifically, if a DRX timer duration is configured by the eNB in units of a PDCCH period, the UE should calculate the timer in terms of number of PDCCH user-specific search spaces (USSs), or in terms of PDCCH subframes by multiplying the number of PDCCH periods with the PDCCH repetition level.

    Abstract: A method of extended DRX paging includes a base station that transmits extended DRX configuration information and a User Equipment (UE) receives the extended DRX configuration from the base station. The UE determines a first number of frames that are included in a hyper-frame based at least in part on the extended DRX configuration information and selects a hyper-frame number. The hyper-frame number is based at least in part on the extended DRX configuration information. The UE maintains a hyper-frame count and the hyper-frame count is incremented after each hyper-frame. The UE then goes into sleep mode and the UE determines a wake up time before a standard DRX cycle that occurs during the selected hyper-frame. The UE may also determine a first wake up time and a second wake up time based on the selected hyper-frame number and synchronization error between a first cell and a second cell.

    Abstract: A method of acquiring timing advance (TA) for neighbor cells to reduce latency and interruption for inter-cell mobility is proposed. A UE is configured with a set of active cells for fast cell-switching. To reduce handover interruption, UE performs early RACH for potential target cells and obtains the TA of the potential target cells. In one novel aspect, for overhead reduction, a single RACH preamble may be received by multiple cells. Using a single RACH preamble, UE acquires TA for multiple cells, aiming at reducing the interruption due to RACH during handover. In another novel aspect, UE reports DL reception timing difference between the serving cell and the neighbor cell, and then adjust the TA for the neighbor cell accordingly.

    Abstract: Various examples and schemes pertaining to conditional radio resource control (RRC) confirm messaging are described. A user equipment (UE) communicates with a network node of a wireless network. In communicating with the network node, the UE transmits a first message to the network node and receives a second message from the network node responsive to the transmitting of the first message. The UE also determines whether to transmit a third message to the network node acknowledging receipt of the second message. That is, transmission of the third message as a confirmation of receipt of the second message is conditional or otherwise optional so as to reduce signaling overhead.

    Abstract: A method of providing two cell barring indications via system information for UE cell selection or reselection is proposed. A first indication is a “cellBarred” indication for EPC, which indicates wither UE is barred to access EPC core network, and a second indication is a “cellBarred5GS” indication for 5GC, which indicates whether UE is barred to access 5GC core network. For E-UTRAN cell connected to both EPC and 5GC, the two indications are determined on demand, based on network preference and congestion control. For E-UTRAN cell connected to 5GC only, the value of the “cellBarred” indication is always barred. For E-UTRAN cell connected to EPC only, the base station may omit the “cellBarred5GS” field, and the existence of “cellBarred5GS” can act as an indication whether the E-UTRAN connects to 5GC.

    Abstract: Concepts and examples pertaining to uplink-assisted mobility procedure in millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an uplink (UL) signaling configuration from a source base station (BS) of a wireless network. The UE may periodically transmit a UL reference signal, which are measured by the source BS, in response to receiving the UL signaling configuration. The UE may receive a handover command from the source BS. The UE may also perform a handover procedure with a target BS in response to receiving the handover command from the source BS.
